“ So, the civic virtues, which we have spoken of above, do really give

order to us and make us better; they limit and give measure to our appetites and, generally, give measure to our affective states and remove

our false beliefs by means of that which is generally better and by imposing limits on us and by the fact that that which is measured is

placed outside the things that are unmeasured and unlimited.” ~ Plotinus the Enneads

Notice the reference to geometry, Baudrillard as a photographer was a keen observer, he spotted the chaos wrought on by the modern world, and identified cancer as the ailment of this aeon, as it is something which diffuses amorphously, destroying the order of our bodies. Many parallels and connections here with other phenomena of our times.
